Emmons Avenue

Some time last week I took my usual walk home, along the Bay.  I got out of the train station at just the right time; when the sun was setting and the birds were flying.  I feel that the canal embodies romance, serenity, hope, and joy.  I took a wide-angle shot to fit all that I see so often, yet fail to truly appreciate.  I usually take this path down home, because I like walking by the water.  The wide-angle shot captured what I saw; the setting sun, the birds flying, the few people gathering, and the body of water that stretches out endlessly.  I feel that the angle of this shot allows one to be in the picture and not just starring into it.  The angle also gives off an illusion of two depths of views – the setting sun and the railing that runs down with the pavement.  Up until this assignment, I’ve never noticed just how calm I feel when I walk along the Bay.  I realize that I like it so much because it simply relaxes me.
